Foreign Policy
Iraq's foreign policy is defined by a delicate balancing act between Iranian influence and U.S./Western partnerships. Baghdad seeks to position itself as a neutral mediator in regional disputes, hosting talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran. It maintains ties with both the Arab League and Iran-aligned actors. Key priorities include attracting reconstruction investment, maintaining territorial integrity (particularly regarding Kurdistan), and combating terrorism.
